    Yoni Steaming for Postpartum & Fertility

    Today, we are talking with Liz Kohut, a certified peristeam specialist. Liz stumbled upon Vaginal Steaming following a miscarriage in 2018 after her doctor suggested a D&C and she declined. Liz knew there had to be a more natural and non-invasive option. After she saw the positive effects of regular Vaginal Steaming (also known as peri, womb or yoni steaming), she decided to take the Peristeam Facilitator course offered by The Steamy Chick Institute. Her goal is to bring more awareness to this long-standing practice throughout countries all over the world in order to help educate women through the use of Vaginal Steaming with a focus on uterine health for fertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, postpartum as well as navigating every stage of life - maiden, mother, crone!  You can find Liz on Instagram @wildwood_wellness_ Shop all of my favorite supplements, electrolytes and protein powders from Just Ingredients!

    Folate, MTHFR & Prenatal Health | with Dr. Eric Ciappio & Lauren Eisen

    Folate is one of the most talked about nutrients in pregnancy, but also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, we break down what folate actually does, why the form matters, and how it impacts methylation and your baby’s development. I’m joined by Dr. Eric Ciappio and Lauren Eisen from Balchem, the company behind Optifolin+®. We talk through folate vs. folic acid, what MTHFR actually means, and why so many women feel confused when choosing a prenatal. We also cover how to think about bioavailable nutrients in real life, including options like Needed, which uses methylated folate and choline in forms your body can actually use.

If you’ve ever questioned your prenatal or felt overwhelmed by conflicting information, this episode will give you a more grounded way to approach it.

    Where Should I Give Birth?

    Choosing where to give birth is about more than picking a location. In this episode, we walk through how hospital, birth center, and homebirth settings differ, what each one is designed for, and how to think through this decision in a way that aligns with your body, your values, and your pregnancy. We talk about how to think about safety beyond just emergency access, how the hospital model of care influences labor and decision-making, what makes birth centers different, and how homebirth works. We also cover why your provider, preparation, and support system matter just as much as location, along with practical questions to help you decide what is the best fit for you.

    Unmedicated Hospital Birth & Advocating for Yourself | with Lizzie Bolliger

    I’m joined by Lizzie Bolliger (known online as @fiercelizzie) for a conversation about what advocacy during labor actually looks like in real life. We talk about why birth education alone isn’t always enough, how institutional momentum shows up during labor, and how preparation before labor can dramatically change the experience in the room. If you’ve ever wondered how advocacy really works when labor is unfolding in real time, this episode will give you a much clearer picture. In this episode, we cover: Why “just advocate for yourself” often falls apart during laborThe difference between knowing information and being able to use it in the momentHow subtle provider pressure shows up in birth settingsWhy saying “no” is rarely as simple as it soundsThe role of partners in protecting the birth spaceHow birth preparation changes the dynamic in the roomWhat real advocacy actually looks like during labor ____________________________________________________________________________________ Kindred Bravely — maternity and postpartum essentials designed for pregnancy, recovery, and breastfeeding.
